1. Yes, Kindle 3 accesses the full internet over both 3G and wifi. You ought to consider the 3G as your "bonus" network and stick to wifi where practical (like at home). Wifi is faster than 3G for most people.
2. Yes, AT&T's partner in Canada is Rogers and Rogers has 3G in both Regina and Saskatoon. Elsewhere in Canada, Rogers 3G coverage is much more extensive but it's also not competing against a crown corporation (Sasktel).
3. Wifi is free (well, someone pays for it like you if you have it at home). 3G is also "free" with the device forever. Bear in mind websurfing on an e-ink device isn't ideal -- it's more like a nice thing to have in a pinch. The real value is Kindle 3's always connected capability for instant download of samples and paid content, as well as sharing clips and such, and syncing your bookmarks with other devices on your account (like a smart phone).
